lyrics

It Ain't That Bad (nuvocoke@gmail.com)

(verse) you've been thinking this ol' life has let you down...
all your plans and dreams don't seem to come around...
what you're searching for is nowhere to be found...
and no matter where you go, you're never homeward bound...

(CHORUS) well, it ain't that bad, it's actually worse...
that station wagon you've been driving's really a hearse...
you must have done wrong to some gypsy, now your cursed...
it ain't that bad... it's actually worse... (much worse)

(verse) you've been wondering why life seems so unfair...
people plundering each other everywhere...
voices thundering in anger and despair...
so few are willing to lend a hand out anywhere... (CHORUS)

(verse) you've been holding on to things that you've admired...
and you boast about the possessions you've aquired...
do you plan to cash it in when you're retired...
or, is it your safety net in case you get fired? (CHORUS)

(sing along) it ain't that bad, it's actually worse... (x4)
